Today was the last hard scheduled interval run before my race next weekend. My legs are still so sore from the marathon...4 days later!! But, I can finally walk down stairs without turning sideways so that has to be an improvement...right? lol. When I got to work this morning I found out my running buddy only got 3hrs of sleep. I gave him the option of postponing our speed day till tomorrow, but he said he would rather get it over with and not have it "ruin" his Friday! So we decided despite me being sore and him being tired we were going to man-up/woman-up and do our best. So this was the plan...
We actually managed to do the first 6 reps at sub-7mins/mile. But, by the last two we were exhausted and totally fell apart coming in around 7:25 and 7:55. We were gasping and sore and tired and sooooooooo glad to be done!!! Despite the slower paced final 2 reps we still averaged exactly 7:00min/mile on the intervals and I was proud of the run.
Tomorrow is an easy 4.5 miles and then Saturday is a rest day. I'm really hoping my quads return to a more normal state after that!! Tomorrow is also weigh-in day, last week I was up a little when I felt like I should have been down so we will see how this week plays out.
